[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1863877, member: 26077"] I own all of the cartridges being discussed. My all time favourite gopher gun is the 17 FB. You just can't beat the splat factor of a 20 grain Vmax at 4100 FPS. I thought the 17 HH would be fun but the brass isn't great and it is a pain to relaod, I still prefer the 22 Hornet over it. We have 17 HMR but can reload 17FB for the same price and the FB is a far better performer. All that said, we shoot ten times as many gophers with a 22 Rf as everything else combined. When you are going through 10-15,000 rounds a year., cost becomes a factor and you can't beat a 22 with Winchester Xperts for cost. [/QUOTE]
